Information sources recommended for those providing local UITS support at IU

On this page:

Overview

At Indiana University, IT Community Partnerships (ITCP) recommends that local UITS support people subscribe to or follow the sources listed below for vital security and service information.

IU mailing lists

  • The local UITS support people mailing list: Registered local UITS support people are automatically subscribed to this ADS group when they register in IT People. Because subscriptions to this list are both mandatory and automated, it is reserved for distributing essential, time-sensitive technical information, actionable items, and security concerns. The list follows an announcements-only format and is moderated by ITCP.
  • IT-Technical-L: This list receives the same content sent to the local UITS support people list. It is intended for those with a professional interest in IT at IU, but who are not required to register in IT People. Subscriptions are limited to IU email addresses. Send a subscription request to it-technical-l-subscribe@iu.edu.
    Note:
    If you are registered in IT People and you also subscribe to IT-Technical-L, you will receive duplicate copies of messages sent to those lists.
  • IT-Announcements-L: This list is intended to communicate IT-related news, announcements, and events of interest to all local UITS support people at IU. Content will generally not overlap with that sent to the local UITS support people and IT-Technical-L lists. The list is moderated by ITCP, and relevant messages are welcome from all subscribers. Subscriptions are open to anyone with an IU email address. Send a subscription request to it-announcements-l-subscribe@iu.edu.
